Woodman:
Hi, first post for me. I'm sitting on my balcony looking out over the amazing San stefanos bay.  This is our 2nd visit and I wanted to post about the changes in the short 9 month gap in between our holidays.

The biggest of course is the shrinking beach. We were told there were big storms in Feb that shrank the beach to half its width overnight. Anyone got more info on that?

Also, I wanted to point out to visitors to be a bit careful when you walk beyond the Havana bar. I took a walk with my nearly 4 year old yesterday and noticed a fair amount of broken glass on the beach. Fortunately on the main beach the only thing to be wary of was the jellyfish washed up after the high winds on Tues and Wed.

Waspman:
Thanks for the info woodman

Jules:
Welcome to the Forums Woodman. Where in SS are you staying?
Thanks for that info. There was a few photo's posted on Facebook with the disappearing beach. Can't remember who posted them though. Never seen the beach so small. Hope it does recover to it's former glory :)

Gordonc:
The beach is indeed around half the width, they had a very stormy winter and this has also silted the harbour again meaning the Nearchos is having to run the San Stef boat trips from Sidari, the vessel itself being berthed at Kassiopi. This has unfortunately meant that the Mathraki and Othoni trip is not running, the very one we wanted to do this year!
They were supposed to come and clear the harbour in April, this colud be the marine equivalent of the bypass saga!

Woodman:
Great info all, interesting about boat trips, we're hoping to take one while we're here. Are they all going from Sidari?

Jules - we're on our honeymoon in Delfino Blu! Very spoilt! Kostas explained the storms and how he's tried to protect Mango from the storms.  Hasn't put us off at all though!
